I've been skiing all my life but just started going in the park this year so I'm thinking about getting new skis. I can do 360's and have started to ride switch, so I thought i would get some twintips.

I ski regularly at Tahoe, I'm probably in the park 35% of the day, and the rest of the day I like skiing the steeps, trees, or just going fast on some groomers.

I actually bought a pair of 1080's last year and hated how flimsy they were. I need something sort of stiff for my all mountain needs.

I'm 5'6' 145 pounds.

I'm considering the PE's, scratch FS, or pocket rockets but ANY suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

PEs are a good pick.

^and 1080s are soft noodles.

chronics are nice, but they're much stiffer than ur 1080s, but both them and the pe's are bombproof. it boils down to how much u want to spend really, and how cheap either of them are
Over 2500 left handed people a year are killed from using products made for right handed people.

so basically i lost my penis trying to have sex with my cat.

probably the PE's, but if you want to start stepping it up in the park (that is kind of a natural progression) then get the fujatives, they're not bad for all mountain either.
